Julia Ann Corman, daughter of Samuell Wallace and Elizabeth Martin Corman, was born in Rushville township on the old Corman homestead farm, Oct. 25, 1864. It was there her childhood days were spent and she grew to young womanhood.
On Dec. 31, 1890, she was united in marriage to Ross H. Robeson, a young man whom she had known from early childhood. Following this happy marriage their home was established on a farm in the immediate vicinity where they had always resided.
To this union two sons were born, Elza and Miles Robeson, both of whom are residents of Rushville township.
In early life Mrs. Robeson was converted and became affiliated with the Kinderhook M.E. church, South, a membership which she retained thruout the years of her useful life.
She was a dutiful daughter, a kind and affectionate wife and mother, and a loyal and sympathetic neighbor and friend. Since the death of her husband, which occurred on Jan. 2, 1936, she has lived in close companionship with her two sons.
Besides these sons, Elza and Miles Robeson, she is survived by four grand children, William, Thelma, Sarah and Harriet Robeson of Rushville; one sister, Mrs. William Nelson of Roseville; and three brothers, Dr. V. M. Corman of Pleasant View, Edward Corman of Littleton, and Frank C. Corman of Rushville. Her parents, three brothers and three sisters are deceased.
